I've created over 3800 pages over the years here at Giant Bomb. About 800 of them came from the years I spent documenting EverQuest stuff on the site. Many of them are for games or developers which did not have a page, so I felt obligated to add one. But, there are also a bunch (especially some crazy concepts) that were just super fun to get added to the site. And that's what this list is about. Out of the 2500+ pages I've created, these are my 100 favorite ones.
When I say I created these pages, that doesn't mean I put in the bulk of the work on every single one to make them what they are today. After adding them to the site, some have been elaborately built by other members of the community here.
Here's how they're currently divided them up:

It may sound crazy, but I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for PlayStation Underground. I certainly wouldn't have gone to ten E3s and met a ton of great people in the industry. And, without the E3 experience, I may have never decided to go to PAX. I had a ton of info to use on the wiki leftover from my fan site that I used to run. Luckily, when I asked Jeff about it a few days after GB launched, he agreed that Underground had a place on the site. This page was my first big project on the site.
I've created all of the annual E3 pages on the site, so this represents all of those together. I've tried to document each year as best I can, which includes the many photos I took from 1999-2006 as well as scanned documents and such. Finding documentation of what games were at E3 1996 (for example) is harder than it sounds.
I've also created all the PAX pages on the site so far. I started going in 2008 and haven't missed a Prime or East since. I typically take hundreds of photos at the event, which is not only great for documenting the event visually, but also allows me to go back and make sure every game and dev I saw has a page in the wiki.
This page, formerly the Academy of Interactive Achievement Awards, was a doozy. At first, I had every year on one page, but it was crashing people's browsers, so Dave had me break it up into separate years. Now, this main page just lists the winners each year and acts as a hub to the rest of the pages.
Easily one of my top favorites. And the default image explains it so well.
This one is super obscure and that's why I love it. Ridge Racer and Vib Ribbon officially supported this concept of taking the game out of the PlayStation and replacing it with a music CD.

Not many games feature an actual alcohol tolerance skill that levels up and/or matters. I'm mostly just proud of the default image though. Operating a hamburger is tough.
This is one of those concept pages that I couldn't believe did not already exist. Everyone knows there's something back there.
This concept page came about after some of the early footage of MKX was released. Of course that wasn't the first game to feature this though.
